Methodist SOCIAL.

The Methodist social of Tuesday even
ing was at tho house Of Mr.. and Mrs.
jerks. The party was only distin-
guished from former occasions of the
same order by the larger attendance of
the young people. A number of enter
tanning charades pleasantly occupied a
portion Of the evening. But the chief
feature of the hour was a spelling match,
in which nearly every one participated.
James Watt held the speller. He gave
them a few rounds of easy words until
the class got confidence, and then he
opened on them with a perfect fusilade
of slippery consonants and elusive ow-
els that rapidly thinned the ranks. Mrs.
Saunders and w. Simrall kept him hunt
ing for photographic monstrosities for q
long time, but ''paraphernalia" was a lit
tie too complex for them and both sur
rendered on the same word.
Every one present vouches for the sue
cuss of the entertainment and earnestly
commends the largo hospitality of MI.
and Mrs. jerks.

Numerous Bills Introduced-Fight
Over the Railroad Bill.

Numerous Bills Observation-Disclosures
Over the Railroad Bill.
special Correspondents Of the 1~xrER-0crAN.i
BISMARCK, Jan. 30.-The legislative
mill is now grinding away at a business
like rate. Since my last letter several
bills have received the signature ofGov.
Pierce, and become laws. Among these
is the bill extending the time when tax
es shall become delinquent from Feb. l.
until July ]. 1887. By the way, I notice
that many newspapers in the territory
are laboring under a misunderstanding
Of this bill. Some state that all interest
is RENTED, and others that the penalty
is entirely abolished. The fact is, the
law simply extends the time when the
penalty of five Der cent shall attach.
and all failing to pay their taxes on the
LIST of February are required to pay n
per cent per month interest until July l.
Among the other bills which have re-
ceived the Governors signature are tshe
following: The memorial to congress
protesting against the abandonment Of
Fort Abraham Lincoln; the joint reso.
luton providing for a conference Of
joint committees from the Dakota and
Montana legislatures, to devise plans
for the suppression and prevention Of
pleuro-pneumonia among cattle; the
memorial to congress praying for the
passage Of the Dawes bill for the open
ing Of the Sioux reservation; and sew
eral minor amendments to the political
code.
The great fight Of the session has been
settled so far as the house is concerned,
and the bill for the removal of the Unit
ed States court from ankton TO Mitchell
now rests in the council. The bill passed
the house by a vote Of 80 to 16, but
these figures are not faithful indications
of the sentiment Of the legislature on
the question. The fact is. there was a
majority of one vote on the bill in the
house, and the members who have meas.
ures of their own vet to be decided upon
saw what was coming and plunged into
the tide. All eyes are now turned to
Mr.. Lawler, Of the council, al the cham
pion Of Mitchell's cause in that body.
Things have so changed since the organ
ization of the legislature that it nov
looks as though the bill will have a pref

THE GOOD FAITH PRINCIPLE.

h decision OF b secretary OF the
anterior, printed in+his issue of the Inter-
Ocean, again emphasizes the principle
that good faith is the essential prerequi-
site to the acquisition of public lands.
While the land department has some.
times allowed this principle to be OBJ
secured, it has yet ~unreservedly acknow-
lodged, whenever the question has been
squarely put, that no iron bound rules
and regulations governed the distribu-
ton Of this "heritage Of the people"
The government is not the antagonist
Of the settler. 1t comedies him certain
privileges, and in his exercise Of those
privileges it has only to protect itself
from imposition. State supervision at
tains its end when it discriminates be-
tween the honest and the fraudulent,
between merit and imposture. The
state. eve combats its citizens. Obvi.
ously no man can be a good and loyal
subject of an antag' 'nistic government.
This being true. quibbles and quodli.
bets have no pace in the administration
Of the land Office. No officer has a right
to consider himself an attorney for the
government, to defeat, by n means
within his reach. the claims of 8 .ttl.rs.
He is in his Office for no such purpose
and that officer who studies to frus.
trate by t~echnicalitles claims which he
brlieves are honest, entirely misappre-
helds the relations Of citizen and state.
The large discretionary power vested
in the local land officers supplies them
with abundant means for injury and op.
preston. Our district and neighboring
onesh have been uniformly fortunate in
securing registers and receivers wiz
clearly apprehended the temper Of the
law, and who have %endeavored to pro.
mote its ends. He, who learns the his
tory of frontier poverty and privatioll
from afar, may be excused if he some
times challenges too sharply the proofs
of that lmpalpable good faith. But one
who, from vantage ground, beholds the
wal Of conquest against the "hard sod
of the prairie"-sees tireless labor un'
able to meet its creditors; observes the
changeless economy Of table, of dress
Of pleasure-knows how heavy are the
